Wedjat eye from string of amulets

Overview Wedjat eye from string of amulets Third Intermediate Period ca. 1070–945 B.C. On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 126 Nine amulets of various materials were found threaded together in a tight group around the throat of the Lady Djedmutesankh; two of these, of green glass, disintegrated after they were discovered. This is a wedjat, the mythological eye of Horus that was wounded and then magically made whole. It was thus considered a powerful symbol of healing and regeneration.
